jazz is such a wide and interesting genre, i think it gets dismissed way too readily by a lot of people
this is a fun one - Moanin’, done by Charles Mingus
another personal favourite that gets stuck in my head all the time, but a bit older - A Night in Tunisia, done by Miles Davis & Charlie Parker
yeah, that does make sense for sure
i’d say its more the illumination side of things, considering how many fingers he has in the animated film industry - and especially since he’s a public face, rather than rank-and-file
i agree, but in fairness here most aussies actually agree with kyle and fuckn hate trump - this is just Jack Black throwing his friendship of 30 years under the bus for that sweet Nintendo/Illumination and DNC money
ah but you fail to account for the greatest casualty of all: The Spirit of DemocracyTM
i remember the half-truth going around when I was a teenager and first encountering this book, that orwell was actually writing about a system he himself was part of
it literally took until this thread for me to realise I still had never addressed that falsehood, like of course orwell didn’t actually live in the USSR, but i bet most people (if asked) will still believe that to be the case - that 1984 is orwell criticising a system he previously supported/was a part of, and not a piece of fiction spun out of whole cloth
To everyone replying with seething tears
this place becomes more and more like reddit every day
fascism does love in-group/out-group dynamics that are taken as self-evident
fyi this person seems sketch as hell - in the other videos of theirs i’ve been served, seen a lot of conspiracy brain stuff, lot of reactionary undertones and has talked about burning their fingerprints off so that they aren’t got by right wing buzzterm for feds
worth noting that steam decks are still not ‘officially’ available in australia
i’m currently fighting the parade lion, i love it, what a spectacle of a boss
literally same thought, i see vehicular i click
again, its just very clear you have no clue what graphic design involves, let alone anything else to do with the creative process
art really is just ‘pretty picture’ innit
its very evident from their other replies that their metric for ‘good’ art is ‘is it beautiful?’ and their definition of ‘beauty’, in turn, is simply ‘does looking at this release dopamine or not’
deeply unserious person
that doesn’t answer my question though - what are you defining as a mediocre artist? or is anything that doesn’t fit the ‘hyper realistic AI’ look count as mediocre?
genuinely curious what you mean by ‘mediocre artists’ and the idea that Stable Diffusion has ‘surpassed’ them
do you have any examples? or is this just a vibes thing?
this is what it always comes down to
they don’t respect artists, they don’t respect artistic labour but they so desperately need and want the fruits of said labour and so the only option left is to cheat and lie
hell, it’s evident in the last sentence of their reply - that they see ‘Artist’ as a profession that is getting ‘Obsoleted’, as if the only reason art exists in the first place is because we as a society have been too archaic, and we would jump at the chance to drop the creative process in a heartbeat
complete and total alienation from creativity as a human experience
he’s said that “all creative plans” for the band are cancelled for now
